My last date was in February 2025. One date in summer was cancelled. One woman ghosted me in a bizarre way.

We are texting since 5 days. The texting got less and less. So I asked her out for a date this morning. And she agreed and told me she was very happy about that. A friend of mine told me less texting, earlier asking for a date. People on here adviced that too.

The weird thing is I texted that woman in August for like 3 days. I think she forgot that or she plays like she forgot that. We had an argument about two things. She told me I was too negative and judgemental towards my family. Without knowing my family story. I was pretty pissed about that. And then later she talked about something like how sad it is that animals have to die in a certain way. I cannot remember. And then I asked her whether she is vegetarian which pissed her off.

My friends and I have the theory she doesn't remember it. But only 4 months afterwards. She knew my name, my story, what I study and many details how can she forget about all of that. I knew it was her when she told me her name and the names of her cats. What is your theory is she able to remember it or does she act like that?

Sometimes, the conversations were fulfilling. But most of the time I have to bring new topics to the table to talk about. I think she looks cute. And she gave me a compliment that I look cute. I have the feeling she likes me. But I don't have the feeling she knows much about me.

She does not know anything about my menal illnesses. My traumatizing childhood. And that I am probably unable to work. And before you post someone like you shouldn't date. I think this advice is totally bogus. I dated women who abused the shit out of me. Maybe these people shouldn't date. In my opinion they have the right to date though. And a part of the dating experience I had with them was very good for me. So I don't fully blame them. But I am very hesitant to become very explicit about my traumata. But it also varies how the chemistry between us fits. And with her I have the feeling I will be quiet about the domestic violence and not be explicit about it at all. But in case we get closer I will tell her more about my struggles. But not in this early stage. I wait until the contact burns out which happens all the fucking time in online dating. Even without trauma dumping. For me it matters a lot why someone ghosts me. And I never say in an early stage that I probably will never be able to work. If someone ghosted me for that this would hurt like hell. If it is because of my outer appearance I am fine with that. I don't look bad many woman told me that but everyone has different types. I could go on with the list. But often its unknown why someone ghosts you. Often it remains a mystery but as long I don't make myself fully vulnerable they cannot hurt me with it too much.

Yesterday, I texted with a doctor in training. She is one year younger than me graduated college and works in her field. LMAO. She was very polite and you cannot say why she stopped texting me. We had a pretty good conversation, she gave me compliments and suddenly she did not reply any further. My guess is because I am still in college and I am one year older than her. But I am not too hurt about that. I could imagine this woman plans to get married and how to get kids with someone. The first woman I mentioned is like 5 years younger. If someone is very ambitious I am not made for them. Honestly, I was extremely ambitious myself. But with my broken health even wokring is an utopia.

Tbh I don't expect anything from that date on Sunday. I can say to myself afterwards well I was on a date again and got more experience and that's it. I am always catastrophizing dates before they happen to the max. I had no catastrophe thus far though. I will take some benzos. But I have the feeling we don't fully fit. And I am not sure how good the chances are if we didn't fit the first time. And what will happen if she remembers our argument...

I will probably keep updating this thread. Wait a minute. Of course did I have this catastrophe it happened in December. On the second date with the liberal, autistic woman her sociopathic friend attacked me verbally. She texted me one week after that and apologized in a rather mediocre way. I told her I don't want to see her friend ever again. Afterwards, she never texted me again. Lol. She was in an open relationship probably. Friends with benefits might would have been possible she looks good. But she takes drugs all the time and her friends seemed to be pretty toxic. My friends told me to dodge her.

I am really nervous. Today, I only sent her one message at 6 p.m.
I tend to be too clingy. But the preferences are individual. But people on here told me less texting, earlier dates.

Idk. I overanalyzed everything. Read the whole chat two times. Thought about topics we could talk about. I am already catastrophizing.

I remembered obviously my last date wasn't in February. It was in November and December with this liberal, autistic woman. But we never called it a date and I was very uncertain whether it actually was a date.

I considered not to text her at all today. I ruminated about it the whole day. Lol. But eventually I texted her.

The thing is I think we probably don't fit anyway. On the one hand, I think this is actually the truth. On the other hand, I hope it is not true and it is a way for me to avoid a huge disappointment.

She does not know anything about my horrible conditions and my bad personal issues. I think it is unlikely a "normie" wants to deal with all of that. I think only a small group of people would accept me as a partner. And I don't have the feeling she belongs to them. But please prove me wrong.

I barely know her. Usually, I prefer to know more about a person before the first date. But well seemingly that's the wrong approach. I will update this thread. And update about the disaster that will happen. The meeting starts 11 a.m.

I could imagine she will cancel it shortly before it should take place. I already ruminate how much this will affect me. And one prediction is I will text the autistic, liberal woman out of Frustration. But honestly this would not be a good development...

Pretty much a waste of time. I wasn't good at socializing. I am not neurotypical. At least, it was a date but I think the contact is dead. I already knew we don't fit that well. It was a struggle. I was a total mess. She wanted to leave earlier. The date only took two hours. It was planned to take like 3,5 hours.
I am not sure whether I am hurt. I think neurotypical people don't know these struggles and have less understanding. She does not even know I am neurodiverse.
I think this was a car crash. Really really not good. One of my worst dates for sure. Not good at eye contact, not good at smiling. It was probably hard to watch. I wonder whether I will ever hear from her again. I think it is a mistake not to communicate that I have some conditions. But it was an experiment. People tell me less texting, earlier meetings. But this wasn't good either. Idk. It will be hard to stomach. But she is pretty much a normie. And many of them don't know the problems I have. I am not sure whether I should cry. It is a hit against my ego and self-esteem. But there were women who were fine with my behavior. Maybe she just wasn't the one for me. I wasted a half benzo on this. This is also dangerous for withdrawal symptoms. This might be the biggest fallout. She barely asked me questions. Bro, it wasn't good. She looks pretty good, but this doesn't matter actually. I don't have a chance anyway (anymore).

I have a new match on a dating app, she texted me. She will probably ignore my message but I will try it anyway. The woman is pretty interesting. I messaged her one hour after her first message. Often that's already too late. This is the only thing that gives me hope. I think I will be pretty depressed the next few days. But I have a lot of friends who support me. Who help me through this. Shit, it hurts, it really hurts. It is like a kick in the stomach. It slowly sinks in. But I think we wouldn't fit anyway. I already thought that. But I feel like a total loser now tbh.

I am not feeling that well... this really interesting woman from a dating app isn't replying either. Two kicks into the stomach in a short time frame. Have not cried yet. Maybe it would be relieving. But I don't feel well. This will be a very difficult evening. I feel like throwing up to be honest. My stomach hurts and I feel nauseous. I wonder what is wrong with me. Why am I such a flawed human being? And are these conditions and the abuse I went through a good excuse for that. Maybe I would feel better if I cried a little bit. All of this hurts like hell. I don't feel comfortable in my skin. But it could be worse. I could still be in college having to deal with the living nightmare on a daily Basis. I am not sure which conclusions to draw from All that. There is an empty hole in my heart. Everything hurts. Self-loathing kicks in. And self-pitying.

It hurts like hell. Every single fucking second. I am not good. I am not good. I don't know how to react. This feels like a living hell. I am so hurt. I might binge Ghost in the Shell a little bit to distract me. Fuck myself. You have to remind yourself the pain is temporary. I have friends who Support me. But currently I don't know how to cope with it. I can understand why people to self-harm. I am rather self-loathing internally though. I could puke.

I wish I had some good advice to give but I know nothing about dating. So- I really don't know what's normal. Were you hoping for more chemistry between you? It just seems partly luck though, to find people we click with really well.

Did you just meet up for coffee or something? Again, I'm clueless really but, maybe going some place- to see an exhibition or something might take the pressure off.

It's a brave thing to do I think. I wouldn't want to put myself through it but, I suppose you have to, to find someone.

We took a walk. And then went to a coffee shop. I think I won't text her. I have to process all of that first. I think we didn't fit anyway. But when I got the notification of the other woman from the dating app this gave me hope back. Just to be disappointed in a short time again.

It must be an emotional rollercoaster, I'm sure. I suppose anything we want in life is though. I'd get kind of this way about job applications or possible projects on the horizon. Some, I'd set my heart on and then be disappointed. I've learnt to try to stay calm about stuff till it's definite now.
